Saltlampa – ’droppe’ på träbas, 0,5 kg

After a thunderstorm, the air feels fresher and easier to breathe, the same effect is achieved with a salt lamp. When the salt crystal in the lamp is heated, negative ions are generated, which can have a relieving effect on asthmatic complaints, hay fever and sinus problems, etc. Can also be advantageously used to freshen up rooms with food or cigarette smoke. Cable of 1.8 meters and a 15W light bulb are included. Please note that each lamp is made by hand from natural materials, small differences in shape and color may therefore occur.     Salt crystal lamps are considered to emit natural negative ions. Salt is naturally hygroscopic, which means it naturally attracts moisture. The interaction between moist air and the surface of a salt crystal releases negative ions. When a salt crystal is slightly heated, it generates negative ions. To facilitate this, a small light bulb (usually 7 to 40 watts) or heat candle is placed inside a salt crystal.

• Claimed benefits of salt lamps

1. Salt lamps Clean & humidify the air

Probably the most well-known benefit – and why the majority of people use them – is due to their incredible power to remove dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and other pollutants from the air. ”But how do they do this,” you ask? ”It’s just a big chunk of salt with a light bulb inside, right?” Yes, but no. It is much more than that. Himalayan salt lamps purify air through the power of hygroscopy, which means they attract water molecules from the surrounding environment and then absorb those molecules – as well as any foreign particles they may carry – into the salt crystal. As the HPS lamp is heated by the heat produced by the bulb inside, the same water then evaporates back into the air and the trapped particles of dust, pollen, smoke etc remain locked in the salt.

2. Reduce allergies & asthma symptoms

Because Himalayan salt lamps remove microscopic particles of dust, pet dander, mold and the like from the surrounding air, a lamp or two in the rooms where you spend the most time can significantly reduce allergy symptoms. Even people who suffer from asthma should notice a big difference after a week or two. (In fact, pink Himalayan salt is so good for your airways, there are even HPS inhalers!)

3. relieves cough

As the Himalayan salt lamp heats up and begins its hygroscopic circulation of airborne particles, it also changes the charge of the molecules released. Most homes are filled with positively charged ions that are not considered very good for a person’s health. One of the health problems with breathing lots of positive ions in the air is that the cilia (microscopic hairs) that line the trachea become sluggish and don’t work as well to keep pollutants out of our lungs. As a pink Himalayan salt lamp absorbs water and particles from the air, it also brings positive ions with it. Then, as the heated salt releases purified water vapor back into the air, it also expels negative ions that have the opposite effect on our airways – increasing activity to keep your lungs clean. What all this means in practice:

4. Increase energy levels

Taking a drive through the countryside with the windows down, spending time on the beach or camping in the mountains, or simply taking a shower in the morning are all things that many people find refreshing. It is no coincidence that these are all activities that expose us to increased concentrations of negative ions such as those generated by Himalayan salt lamps. In fact, positive ions drain our bodies of energy. Unfortunately, it is all too common for us to try to diagnose the problem as something else entirely. If you constantly feel tired and don’t know why, try having a Himalayan salt lamp in the room or rooms where you spend the most time. After about a week, you should notice a difference.

• Additional benefits

5. Neutralize electromagnetic radiation

These days, most of us live in a metaphorical sea of ​​electromagnetic (EM) radiation flowing from our electronics (ie: TV, computer, cell phone, tablet, appliances, stereo, etc). Although they may be invisible, the long-term effects of EM exposure can be quite serious. Constant exposure to EM radiation is known to increase stress levels, cause chronic fatigue, and reduce the body’s immune response, among other things. As they emit negative ions into the air, Himalayan salt lamps work to neutralize electromagnetic radiation. Keep one next to your computer, TV, and other electrical devices you use frequently to reduce the potential danger to you and your family.

6. Better sleep

Another side effect due to overexposure to positive ions in the air is that it robs you of quality sleep. This is because the positively charged particles can actually reduce blood and oxygen supply to the brain, resulting in irregular sleep patterns. Himalayan pink salt lamps are natural negative ion generators, so they can help reverse this problem. Keep one or two around your bedroom to improve air quality so you can get a better night’s sleep. Remember, even if you’re like me and you can’t sleep unless the room is completely dark, you can always turn off the light at bedtime. Leave it on for the rest of the day so it can do its job while you’re awake. People in humid climates should be aware that HPS lamps tend to ’weep’ or leak when the salt gets cold.

7. Improve concentration

Himalayan pink salt lamps can be a great way to naturally improve your mood or help you relax and unwind at the end of the day. At the same time and on the opposite side of the coin, HPS lamps are good for improving concentration. Again, this is due to the effect of the negative ions on your body, improving blood and oxygen supply to the brain and other organs, as well as providing a boost of serotonin – the neurotransmitter that makes us (literally) feel happy.

8. Treat Seasonal Affective Disorder

In addition to generating negative ions that improve mood and energy levels, the soft, natural light emitted by a pink Himalayan salt lamp is close enough to the warm glow of the sun that they can even be used to alleviate the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. This year as the days get shorter, you can combat the lethargy by surrounding yourself with some HPS lights set on timers.

9. Reduce static electricity in the air

While not a ”health benefit” at first glance, static electricity is annoying stuff. It causes stress, embarrassment and frustration. Static electricity hits you when you least expect it, when you reach for a doorknob, kiss your husband or wife before bed, or try to pet your dog or cat. Static electricity can give you a bad hair day, make it impossible to clean crumbs or coffee grounds off the kitchen counter, and even cause you to accidentally walk into work with a sock stuck to the back of your shirt… (Okay, so that last one might may have been a bit of an exaggeration.) The point is that static electricity can be a huge pain and Himalayan pink salt lamps are a natural way to neutralize the airborne ionized particles that cause it.

10. Environmentally friendly light source

Last but not least: pink Himalayan salt lamps are environmentally friendly. Although only an estimate, the reserves mined by HPS measure somewhere between 80 and 600 million tonnes and are estimated to last at least another 350 years at current rates of extraction. The base of an HPS lamp is usually carved from a durable wood such as neem. Some lights use a low wattage bulb that consumes very little energy while others are powered by a lighted candle.
